For you probably the beginning of new school year (or perhaps not..) but for me it means I have tons of work to do. Namely pass five more exams if I want to finish my year at college. Otherwise it was all for nothing.<br />Anyhow, as every good student I spent the entire summer saying I will start studying the next day and had instead chosen to do something more pleasurable (at least in my book): watching TV series and creating (I made tons of bobbin lace jewellery some other DIY projects and I also draw quite a lot.). Oh and I have also done tons of writing. I must say there's nothing that spikes my creativity as the need to study. But back to my favourite way to spend time - TV series. This past summer I grew particularly partial to (almost) any police-related series that ever existed (and I was able to put my hands on). And seeing I had already seen the popular ones (namely NCIS, NCIS Los Angeles, Bones, Castle... Not that this stopped me from re-watching the last two all over again) I had to do something drastic - I went to IMDB and watched the pilot episode of almost every TV show they have listed under action/drama/mystery/thriller (I think it was only one of those words, but I can't seem to find the page to verify which one...). Oh, what a great time this was. I must say I found most of them boring, some were OK, and there were also some I didn't want to end. But there was also one I was surprised to see...<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><object width="320" height="266" class="BLOGGER-youtube-video" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" data-thumbnail-src="https://ytimg.googleusercontent.com/vi/uUd2BEIy_QQ/0.jpg"><param name="movie" value="https://youtube.googleapis.com/v/uUd2BEIy_QQ&source=uds" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><embed width="320" height="266" src="https://youtube.googleapis.com/v/uUd2BEIy_QQ&source=uds" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This is horrible quality, but the only thing I could find!</div><br />Do you remember a while back when I was fussing all over this new TV show that's coming to ABC? It's called Forever and it follows a medical examiner working in New York. Nothing special you say? Not exactly, this ME we're talking about can't die (that poor bastard... But I guess they had to find a reason to name the series Forever?) Anyhow, as it turns out (and I didn't expect this at all!) there's another series that follows a immortal man living in New York. So the concept isn't completely new, but who cares?I've seen like three adaptation of Pride and Prejudice, but it still gets me every time! And fact remains, these two shows are only similar in the basic concept - they're both about a man who can't die. Gosh, I almost forgot to tell you what's the title of the other show (I just checked, it was on FOX and it was cancelled after one season. Damn, now I'll never know who was John's true love!). Well it's called New Amsterdam (that's right, I hadn't heard of it before this summer as well. Also here's a fun fact: The series is (my guess!) called New Amsterdam, because this is what the island of Manhattan was first called when the Dutch inhibited it. I'm so smart right?!?).<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-JUEiXfhHe8E/U_TtmJhjceI/AAAAAAAAAqI/951wtJdCEHk/s1600/key_art_new_amsterdam.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-JUEiXfhHe8E/U_TtmJhjceI/AAAAAAAAAqI/951wtJdCEHk/s1600/key_art_new_amsterdam.jpg" height="155" width="400" /></a></div>The basic difference is in Forever the star (from now on dr. Morgan) is a medical examiner, and the star of New Amsterdam (we'll call him Amsterdam. After all this is what he called himself) is a NYPD detective. At least this is what they are in this present life. However both of them have a confidant, a man they trusted their secret immortality. In both series you'll see flashbacks (at least I think so, I hadn't seen Forever yet, but from what I have read it looks like it), about the colourful life they both lived. So if you need a crash course of history of New York, please feel free and watch New Amsterdam. I don't guaranty you it's all accurate and realistic (after all, the man can't die!), but at least you get to see how the Flat Iron district and Times Square changed through time. It's a beautiful minute of every episode =)<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-bEJBlLd3t-M/U_Tt5xqq0fI/AAAAAAAAAqQ/0F6qtqP7hK4/s1600/_1400004135.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-bEJBlLd3t-M/U_Tt5xqq0fI/AAAAAAAAAqQ/0F6qtqP7hK4/s1600/_1400004135.jpg" height="145" width="400" /></a></div><br />I bet there's many more similarities and I promise to keep you posted. Though there's one more thing you should know not to expect in New Amsterdam... In forever dr. Morgan dies, he's reborn in water (I think it's the East or Hudson river. Not sure, but I'm not even an American, so you should be proud I even know which rivers are there. I knew watching TV series will pay me off one day!!!). This is probably the writers attempt to make his re-birth symbolic, but since he's re-born naked, it really comes out as a one big joke. And why on Earth doesn't he hides clothes near the place he comes out of the water. Public indecency is a b***h. No naked dude being re-born in a river in New Amsterdam. The one time it shows him die, the man dies and than wakes up again. You know, like when somebody is falsely pronounced dead and they stick a needle in him in the morgue and he jerks up as he wakes up?<br />So, if you're bored (like I am. Right now I'm watching CSI. But this is more for research for one of my stories. Wouldn't want to get the forensics wrong when I'm solving a crime on paper!), and can't wait for Forever to start on TV, you can try to get your hands on New Amsterdam. It's not the same, but it gives you a taste of what I think will be a great TV show (it better be. There's no way I'll have to watch Katherine Heigl save the White House or Josh Duhamel make fun of something with his partner on the streets of Battle Creek).<br />xxx<br />Lucy JaneLucy Janehttps://plus.google.com/118141625883343786125noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4492082610589417552.post-67266247114167009322014-07-28T12:18:00.000-07:002014-07-28T12:18:50.134-07:00My Summer Project - LACE<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I've learned how to make lace when I was about twelve years old. I took a class in school, and I liked it. When I went to high school and I stopped visiting the classes, I stopped making lace. But this summer I decided I want to make some lace jewelry, and because I forgot how to make some of lace making techniques, I googled if they were on the internet. They weren't, so I just had to make do with my old notes. Luckily for me, I have great motoric memory. I remembered how to make them, and now I want to share this knowledge with you. So I made videos of how to make lace. This is the first one. I know I have to make another one real quick with the basics of how to tie the knots between the bobbins in the pair. And how to prevent the thread from just falling off the bobbin. I promise I'll try my best and do that in the next 24h.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">And now to lace making. I put the video on YouTube for everyone to see.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--sVMIcjlwF8/U9ahVEBoIJI/AAAAAAAAApc/14cOYyXH6Ks/s1600/DSCN3241.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--sVMIcjlwF8/U9ahVEBoIJI/AAAAAAAAApc/14cOYyXH6Ks/s1600/DSCN3241.JPG" height="300" width="400" /></a></div><h4 style="clear: both; text-align: left;">WHAT DO YOU NEED?</h4><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">-Pillow</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">-Pins</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">-Colored thread (I used the one that's usually use for gobelin-making instead of the thread for lace-making, because it's easier to see what I'm doing in the video this way), like pink and violet</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">-Two pairs of bobbins (that's four bobbins)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">-Scissors</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">-Patience</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><h4 style="clear: both; text-align: left;">LET'S START!</h4><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">-First your bobbins must have thread on and be tied together in a pair (I did that before I start filming...)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">-Put the pin into the middle of the pillow and put the bobbins, so you'll have each pair on one side (two bobbins with pink thread on the left and two bobbins with violet thread on the right)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">-In each hand take the bobbin of the right and put it over the bobbin on the left. Than take the right bobbin (=the bobbin on the right side) in the left hand and put it over the left bobbin (the bobbin on the left) in the right hand.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">-Repeat the movement. If you're doing it right you'll get the original setting of the bobbins on every fourth repetition. (if you started with pink on the left and violet on the right, after the first repetition you'll get (from left to right) pink, violet, pink, violet; the second time you'll get violet, violet, pink, pink; the third time: violet, pink, violet, pink; and the fourth time you'll get the original setting: pink, pink, violet, violet.)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">-When the braid starts moving too much (it's too long to continue without moving too much) just put a pin in the middle (after you're finished with crossing the right bobbin in the left hand over the left bobbin in the right hand) between the bobbins, so you'll get two bobbins on each side of the pin.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">-I went around the pillow three times, so I really learned how to make it. But you can just continue until you're sure you know how to do it with your eyes blindfolded.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">-When you're finished you need to tie it. Take a pair of bobbins into your hands and put the right bobbin over the left one, so you have the right bobbin's thread under the left bobbin, and the left bobbin's thread over the right bobbin.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">-You need to make two knots for each pair. Cut the rest of thread away right under the knots (be careful so you don't cut the knot.)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">-Leave the lacy braid on the pillow for a few hours, than remove the pins and you have your first official lace.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowFullScreen='true' webkitallowfullscreen='true' mozallowfullscreen='true' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/ujTBogVhp-c?feature=player_embedded' FRAMEBORDER='0' /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I know that it doesn't look like much, but it's the basic. I already filmed the next technique, I just need to edit it. It's more practical than the four braid lace... BTW I used this lacy braid for a bracelet, but you can also use it as a decoration for your homemade bookmark...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Hope you like my summer project =)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">xxx</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Lucy Jane</div>Lucy Janehttps://plus.google.com/118141625883343786125noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4492082610589417552.post-88204043170107621052014-07-25T16:50:00.000-07:002014-07-25T16:50:25.366-07:00Quote of the Week<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-IUTtKe4H9hQ/U9LrUPUx3SI/AAAAAAAAApI/f0IWpO2SEAk/s1600/succeed.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-IUTtKe4H9hQ/U9LrUPUx3SI/AAAAAAAAApI/f0IWpO2SEAk/s1600/succeed.jpg" height="400" width="320" /></a></div>This really should be my life motto.

Just Like Blake LivelyGossip girl is over (and we, I mean I am still mourning the loss!), so this means Blake Lively (if you've been living under the rock since 2007, that's the chick that played the legendary Serena van der Woodsen) has a lot more free time on her hands... I guess she's not fond of making a musical carrier, like so many young Hollywood actresses do these days. If you're not a triple threat you're nothing in Hollywood (wait, isn't this a Broadway 'thing'?). Anyhow, she just launched her new lifestyle page called <a href="http://preserve.us/" target="_blank">PRESERVE.us</a>&nbsp;and supposedly (according to bunch of internet sites I accidentally saw) it's a Goop-like site (apparently a lifestyle page brought to you by Gwyneth Palthrow), just darker. Translation: it has a black background and Goop has white. Big difference, right?<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowFullScreen='true' webkitallowfullscreen='true' mozallowfullscreen='true' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/wjePVorYoHQ?feature=player_embedded' FRAMEBORDER='0' /></div><div style="text-align: left;">So, in order to promote her newly launched page, she did a video, where a person behind camera asks her 73 quick questions.

It's a book that got me trough some though times. The book I'm talking about is labeled as a "classic". I'm a female, so you're probably thinking: "It's Jane Austen. It's always Jane Austen." Well, you'd be wrong. It's still a female author and with familiar topics of writing. And the title also has a Jane in it.</div><div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">Yey, if you're thinking that the book I'm talking about is Jane Eyre, congratulations are in the order - you were thinking right.<img alt="SONY DSC" class="size-medium wp-image-14 aligncenter" data-mce-src="http://rainbowlandmagic.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/janeeyre.jpg?w=300" src="http://rainbowlandmagic.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/janeeyre.jpg?w=300" height="200" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="300" /></div><div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">Jane Eyre made my day when I was going through a tough time when I was about eleven or twelve. All of the sudden I felt like I was missing out on life. Everyone knew everything that was going on. I felt lost, and this might sound cliche, but I got a feeling everyone around me knew what they were doing except for me. I had no idea what to do. I've read a lot of books before, but when you're twelve, all of the sudden you realize that books on children and young adults section aren't as interesting as they once were.</div><div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">I discovered Jane Eyre by accident. I was looking at the books in the library and there was this lovely blue book in soft print. I thought, "Hey, this book looks good and I heard it's supposed to be great." What was the turning point was the fact it was in soft print. All those years ago, it was rare for a book to be in a soft print. And I always choose the longest books. I believe I already had ten other books, so one in soft print wouldn't do much of the difference in the weight I had to carry home (it's a twenty&nbsp;minute walk from the library to my home).</div><div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"><img alt="tumblr_lqm20b2Tve1qeco8xo1_500" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-15 aligncenter" data-mce-src="http://rainbowlandmagic.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/tumblr_lqm20b2tve1qeco8xo1_500.jpg?w=300" src="http://rainbowlandmagic.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/tumblr_lqm20b2tve1qeco8xo1_500.jpg?w=300" height="168" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="300" /></div><div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">I took my time before reading it. But when I did, I feel right into it. I left the 21st century and traveled back in time on this amazing journey with an orphan from Longwood. Jane Eyre was brave, though and intelligent. She was all I wanted to be and at the time, this book gave me courage to be who I am. To be brave enough to fight for what I want (and it wasn't to party) and stand behind what I believe in. Because no matter what, I had it better that Jane, I had (and still have) a family that loves me, stand by me and supports me. And for a teenager, full of hormones and all about pushing its rights, it was a revelation of the century.</div><div style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">There are a lot of books out there that are labeled as "classics". To me, most of them are boring. Maybe it's because I'm a child of modern age, were everything needs to be filled with suspense and action. Things should always move, stories should always have something going on. Or maybe I just don't understand what all the fuss is about. I don't care if the book is labeled classic or a fan fiction or a biography. As long as it has an interesting story plot to follow and it's well written I'm all for it.</div><div data-mce-style="text-align: center;" style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; text-align: center;"><a data-mce-href="https://rainbowlandmagic.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/download.jpg" href="https://rainbowlandmagic.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/download.jpg"><img alt="download" class="alignnone wp-image-16" data-mce-src="http://rainbowlandmagic.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/download.jpg" src="http://rainbowlandmagic.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/download.jpg" height="310" width="357" /></a></div>Lucy Janehttps://plus.google.com/118141625883343786125noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4492082610589417552.post-49620865962169924592014-07-13T14:04:00.000-07:002014-07-13T14:04:18.470-07:00Quote of the WeekIt's been a while, but here it is.

The final's month is FINALLY over and right now I'm having my hard earned holidays! Well, you can hardly call it holidays, since I'm constantly bombarded with demands from my relatives like: Do this... Make sure this is done... Take care of this...<div>And it never stops! They want me to pick up kids from daycare, to entertain them while they are having a break - which seems like all the time! Sure I like kids, but right now, I can't even look at a picture of one without remembering about how loud and dirty and demanding they are. If someone asked me if I want to have kids, right now, I'd say no. It's not that I'm not capable of taking care of them, I just don't fell like all the extra work that comes with them. Sure if they come I'll be grateful and will love them with all my heart, but I'm not planning on having one for the next ten years... Besides, I'm still young, there's absolutely no need to hurry.</div><div>About my finals, so far I know I passed 7 out of 13 exams, I'm still waiting the results on one, and have a total of five to do in the fall. So yeah, these holidays I'll definitely need to study if I want to pass this year. And I do, I have no intention of going through this year all over again! So, wish me luck, and pray that I'll have enough strength and motivation to study, so I'll pass those stupid exams!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-X03glrobHVQ/U7fCZK2959I/AAAAAAAAAoE/7PQcMYCc-SY/s1600/funny-student-books-head.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-X03glrobHVQ/U7fCZK2959I/AAAAAAAAAoE/7PQcMYCc-SY/s1600/funny-student-books-head.jpg" height="252" width="320" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>Now to more happy news. I decided to do something, besides watch TV shows and work this summer. Not that I already got a job, but I'll probably do some waitressing in one of the nearby caffes. Or something like that. But that's not relevant. What matters is I'll probably open an Etsy shop and start selling handmade traditional Idrian lace. I've learned how to make a lace in seventh grade in the past few years I've seriously considered the option of making lace jewellery and accessories. Maybe one day I'll be good enough to make lace shoes, like the one's Ben Affleck wore on one of the premiers (I think in Venice... Holy guacamoly, that rhymes!)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bOmo65ypmNU/U7fCY7vO6UI/AAAAAAAAAoI/LS7d7GPdoOA/s1600/a._viryent_shoes_with_black_idrija_lace_owned_by_hollywood_star_ben_affleck.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bOmo65ypmNU/U7fCY7vO6UI/AAAAAAAAAoI/LS7d7GPdoOA/s1600/a._viryent_shoes_with_black_idrija_lace_owned_by_hollywood_star_ben_affleck.jpg" height="212" width="320" /></a></div><div>Let me know, what do you think of my idea (the one of opening an Etsy shop). I really don't want to go through all the hard work the process of making a lace requires for nothing. Because here's an example: To make that small patch of lace you see on these shoes I'd need about five to eight hours to make. Depends on how good my mood is at the moment.</div><div>Anyhow (how much I loooove, this word!), I have to get back to my vacation a.k.a. work camp my relatives created.&nbsp;</div><div>God, I missed this. I promise I'll do my best and start writing again (and do all my usual posts about TV, movies and books. Three of my favourite things - if you forget about shopping and food)</div><div>xxx</div><div>Lucy Jane&nbsp;</div>Lucy Janehttps://plus.google.com/118141625883343786125noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4492082610589417552.post-31765337892957432722014-05-30T10:26:00.000-07:002014-05-30T10:26:14.199-07:00Wish Me Luck......Because I'm gonna need it!<br />For me it's this time of the year again. The finals month. Yep, that's right, the college I go to has a finals MONTH! Talk about going overboard =)<br />Anyhow, I'm not really happy with the way the college I go to teach and the way it forces us to study. Way too much theory and the fact I can only study psychology 24/7 makes me wanna puke. Which I probably will after all the coffee I consumed to make up for the sleep deprivation studying is causing. And for the next month don't you dare to say that studying isn't killing you. Because in my world it goes like this: studying is for exams, exams cause stress and stress can kill you or at least cause some pretty disturbing things (like insomnia, it can lower the ability of your immune system which than makes you more vulnerable to all the germs flowing around, and I on and on...)<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gezJIT0ucRM/U4i9NT-ZH0I/AAAAAAAAAnU/dJzPum0134c/s1600/learn-a-language-with-flashcards.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gezJIT0ucRM/U4i9NT-ZH0I/AAAAAAAAAnU/dJzPum0134c/s1600/learn-a-language-with-flashcards.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a></div>And today my one month nightmare starts with an exam on Sociological Psychology. Which I learnt from flashcards. And yes, it was possible, because the professor has this weird thing going on in this exams. It's a Yes or No type of thing. He gives a statement and it's either wrong or it's right. All nice all well but the trick is that if your answer is wrong you get minus one point (if it's correct you get 1 point and if you don't answer at all you don't get a point). So, if you're one unlucky SOB, then you can get a final result of minus 40 points. Fun, ha?<br />xxx<br />Lucy Jane<br /><br />P.S.<br />For closure, I think I did horribly on the exam, my mind went blank and I was barley able to figure out one right answer (that I'm 100% sure it's correct). So yey, for now my score is only -39 points ;)Lucy Janehttps://plus.google.com/118141625883343786125noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4492082610589417552.post-8091764868393422982014-05-30T04:03:00.000-07:002014-05-30T04:03:04.082-07:00Quote of the WeekAnd I see a fun way to mess my friends hair =)<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/--zr5iaeDINQ/U4hkjJ0jgII/AAAAAAAAAm4/rCeiRb7gqjI/s1600/7c594144bbbad4ea191901a620aabe5a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/--zr5iaeDINQ/U4hkjJ0jgII/AAAAAAAAAm4/rCeiRb7gqjI/s1600/7c594144bbbad4ea191901a620aabe5a.jpg" height="310" width="320" /></a></div>But seriously, what I really wish for is that all that my wishes would come true.<br />And to not get all depressed for the next month, because I'm probably gonna be such a failure and flunked all ten exams I need to pass to finish my glorious (NOT) year in college!<br />xxx<br />Lucy JaneLucy Janehttps://plus.google.com/118141625883343786125noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4492082610589417552.post-11642910286827191072014-05-23T01:24:00.002-07:002014-05-23T01:24:34.991-07:00I Got My First Kiss!!!!Before you jump to conclusion and imagine me like a modern day Drew Barrymore in Never Been Kissed, I'm really sorry to disappoint you. I've been kissed before, even though it would certainly be fun to go out in a search for the first and perfect kiss.<br />What I'm talking about are Hershey's kisses. Yep the chocolate ones. And I know how hard it is to believe I never had one, but it's true. I've always ate either Milka or Gorenjka (a local chocolate factory) and in the past few years Lint and some other Swiss based chocolate factories. But never in my life have I ate Hershey's chocolate. I know, I know, I've been to USA and I had a chance to buy and eat Hershey's chocolate... But the thing is, when I'm travelling I'll rarely spend money on something as unnecessary as food. As a matter of fact I lost 5kg while I was in NYC this past fall.

Still don't get it?<br />I became obsessed with this TV series called Awkward. I don't know how it happened, or why, I just know I just spend the last four hours binge watching it. I already went through the last and the first two seasons. So, high five for me, I still know how to spend the day doing absolutely nothing productive! God, my life sucks.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4t648TMWJi8/U34AHVNeiiI/AAAAAAAAAmI/3vYNU8r89KI/s1600/Awkward-281x211.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4t648TMWJi8/U34AHVNeiiI/AAAAAAAAAmI/3vYNU8r89KI/s1600/Awkward-281x211.jpg" height="300" width="400" /></a></div><br />But so does Jenna's, the main character in the Awkward series. Except I'm a tad older than she is and my problems doesn't involve guys. At all. Because I don't have a boyfriend or a crush I can do something about. I'm single and it looks like it's going to stay this way for a while. I kind of don't mind, having a boyfriend is hard work and right now, I'm kind of happy I'm single. And this is the end of my pity-party&amp;pep-talk-for-my-better-self-esteem-in-one. For now.<br />Anyhow, she has tons of problems, and so do I. Even though I am older than her, I can still relate and this is why I got sucked in (and created another problem!) and can stop thinking about the series. I mean seriously it's addicting. And if it will continue this way, I might actually need to go to rehab. Because right now, all my favorite series had a season finale and I'm suffering from a serious withdraw problems. (Fine, I'm having one more minute of this pity party, bu then I'm over!)<br />Hurahay, I got over myself and party over my obsession with Awkward. Maybe I'll just watch one more episode, or two... Maybe one more season?<br />xxx<br />Lucy JaneLucy Janehttps://plus.google.com/118141625883343786125noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4492082610589417552.post-23163551912641944872014-05-17T14:48:00.000-07:002014-05-17T14:48:58.918-07:00Can't Wait For What The Fall 2014 Brings On TVSo this week the TV networks were kind enough to enlighten the humble TV viewers with their decisions about which TV shows will be renewed and which cancelled and which are coming to the TV.<br />I'm crying over the cancellation of Suburgatory, but the worst news was the cancellation of The Crazy Ones! And to top that off, they ended with a cliff-hanger. A freaking CLIFF-HANGER!!!! Now I'm not crying, I'm mad. I'm really mad.<br />Don't those people on TV know what it does to a person to not know the end and the horrible feeling you get from knowing you never will. Would it kill them to decide a month before on weather or not there will be another season? Maybe then the writers could wrap things up in a decent way. And definitely without a freaking cliff-hanger.<br />Anyhow, right now I want to tell you about this one series that is coming on TV (I believe in fall 2014, but if I could change that I would want to watch it right now). It's called FOREVER.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowFullScreen='true' webkitallowfullscreen='true' mozallowfullscreen='true' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/3LXp8W4wqyU?feature=player_embedded' FRAMEBORDER='0' /></div>I checked all the trailers and storylines and I liked this one the best.<br />The story centers around a 200 year old guy (played by that dude from Ringer - Ioan Gruffudd) that work in the morgue and helps solving crime. Oh and he's immortal, but doesn't know why and does his best to figure out why he can't die. And there's a love story. There's always a love story.<br />Anyhow I'll be writing more about the TV shows that I love and adore and am obsessed with in the near future.

Suzy (a.k.a. my laptop) is currently hibernating, because of excessive use of SPSS (that's a statistics program). Because, if you haven't figured out yet, I'm a psychology student and this year most of my studies centers on statistics. So thank you whoever created SPSS, I'd die if I'd have to manually calculate all the things we have to do. If you ever had to do something statistical, than you know, it's (mildly put) a pain in the as*.<br />But back to basics. If I'm not mistaken I already mentioned I joined Wattpad. It's this awesome Internet community in which you can publish your works and read works of other people for free. But be careful, you might get addicted. I definitely did. But join anyways!<br />Soooo, I kind of started on a new book. I decided to test my theory that I'm a decent writer and prove to myself I can write in English just as good as in my native language. So far, so good.<br />The book is called <a href="http://www.wattpad.com/story/16074814-one-night-love-affair">One Night Love Affair</a>&nbsp; (just click on the title and you'll be reading it in no time at all). I don't know if you know singer Paloma Faith, but few nights ago I was chilling and surfing the web, when I came across her song Only Love Can Hurt Like This. I absolutely loved it! So I checked out her songs and fell in love with 30 Minutes Love Affair. Yes, this is the song that inspired the story.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowFullScreen='true' webkitallowfullscreen='true' mozallowfullscreen='true' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/O0O2DfNRxv4?feature=player_embedded' FRAMEBORDER='0' /></div><br />&nbsp;The story currently only has one chapter, but I kind of know exactly what will happen in the next four. I just have to take the time and put my thoughts on a paper. Hopefully I'll be more consistent with publishing this story then I'm with writing the blog ;)<br />xxx<br />Lucy JaneLucy Janehttps://plus.google.com/118141625883343786125noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4492082610589417552.post-7166260927005421862014-05-02T18:00:00.000-07:002014-05-02T18:00:01.503-07:00Quote of the Week<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-BnhajkhW9LM/U2QtgWYMwUI/AAAAAAAAAi8/mbg-sbswpV4/s1600/tumblr_mjcp3f1t5V1rjhn43o2_500.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-BnhajkhW9LM/U2QtgWYMwUI/AAAAAAAAAi8/mbg-sbswpV4/s1600/tumblr_mjcp3f1t5V1rjhn43o2_500.gif" height="512" width="640" /></a></div>After scrolling past my previous posts, I came across this picture and quote.

I do prefer the term special though, so please, if you're planning on judging me and saying: "Man, that girl is crazy!" please consider replacing the c-word with s-word, and yes I mean SPECIAL!</div><div>About my confessions, so you know these people that have way to much on their hands? And they don't know what to do with it, so they go and do something? Anything really? I'm not one of those people. When I'm bored and don't know what to do, I just find somebody, anybody really and start complaining. About anything and everything. Somehow, when everything else fails, complaining never, ever get's old. I absolutely LOVE IT!!!</div><div>One down, two more to go. The second one is no real surprise, but I kind of figured out my life is so pathetic, that I spend so much time in front of TV I kind of already seen all the good TV shows international television has to offer. So when I saw some news about Ariana Grande I realized, she was/is on a TV show. So I said to myself: "What the heck Lucy, why not go and check out that Victorious show she was on." And I did. And absolutely fell for it. I know, my life must be so pathetic, but you must admit it, didn't you ever want to go to a high school like that? I'd love to go to a high school like that. This way of thinking resulted in me seeing the entire four seasons in two days... Well, what can I say? I'm nothing if not?!?! SPECIAL!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-76YpWG9W67Q/U2QsT2AWY2I/AAAAAAAAAis/MVI1URI2Bmo/s1600/236794546.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-76YpWG9W67Q/U2QsT2AWY2I/AAAAAAAAAis/MVI1URI2Bmo/s1600/236794546.jpg" height="320" width="320" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>And the last, but not the least, Wattpad. You might know what it is, but for those who don't, it's a online community of writers and readers. You can publish a book and people can read it for free, they can comment, vote and stuff like that. It also has an app, that got me into trouble. The thing is, I just joined Wattpad like a week ago, and since then I hadn't had a decent night sleep yet. Because I always end up reading these amazing books in the evening and they have me sucked in so much that I can't stop reading until the end of the book. And after that I have to play Candy Crush, because two and a half hours has passed and my lifes are full again. Speaking of which, I'm gonna go now, and get to this next level even if it's the last thing I do before I (finally) go to sleep. Because where I am right now, it's 1.30 in the morning.

I could lie and say, I've been busy but this wasn't the case. In fact I'm kind of in middle of a crisis. I have no idea what I want (other than not live in this amazing house I found in the Hamptons. It only costs 5 million dollars - which is like three and a half million euros. It has eight rooms, nine bathrooms, a view to the beach, a private beach with a shed and private pier. To top that off it also has a heated pool and a legally built guest house with two more bedrooms and bathrooms, a pole room and what looks like a home fitness. Too bad it doesn't has a tennis court. No wonder it only costs 5, not 45 millions dollars ;) ) or what I'm doing with my life. So I kind of put my life on hold and (probably out of laziness and mild case of depression) stopped writing all together.<br />But a week ago, after going trough all the bookmarks on my Suzy (I finally decided on the name for my laptop. And when I get a car I'll name her Betty. Then I'll have Petunia - my tablet, Suzy and Betty. This is what you get for being afraid of dogs, allergic to cats and a growing dislike for pets of any kind.) and I found an Avon Impulse page. Out on a whim I decided to write a series of epic romance novels. So far I've already have the in-detail plot for the first and second book, and a rough plot for the fifth one. Also I just finished first and started on the second chapter of the second book today. Basically, the books will be about five friends, that met in college, bonded over their love of wine and books. Soon they create a book club&nbsp;appropriately called Wine Club. Each girl will get their own book. This is all I'm gonna say for now, but I'm having a lot of fun writing and creating the girls stories. Hopefully, I will finish the fourth chapter by the end of the week and will be sending the manuscript to the Avon Impulse people. Fingers crossed they'll like it. I will keep you posted on the matter.<br /><br />So this kind of get me the needed motivation to start blogging again, hopefully this time, I won't give up so quickly.<br />Another thing happened in the past two months, that's worth talking about. The ice skating season is over and I even accidentally saw a real hockey game! The thing is, I was ice skating as a part of a class I choose to take this year (It was called something like: Medicine and preventive in sport) and I had an exam last week. At seven thirty p.m. on Saturday. If I was a regular twitter user, this is how I would capture this event:<br /><h4 style="text-align: center;">#ThatAwkwardMoment when you're having a ice skating exam in front of 40 soon-to-be professional hockey players. At least I didn't fall. This time.</h4><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_lvVjDJYB-I/U0whCJZNPaI/AAAAAAAAAh8/1o55BSNuVsM/s1600/amazing-figure-gif-girly-thing-Favim.com-1651629.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_lvVjDJYB-I/U0whCJZNPaI/AAAAAAAAAh8/1o55BSNuVsM/s1600/amazing-figure-gif-girly-thing-Favim.com-1651629.gif" height="187" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Not exactly what I had to do, but I just love this gif =)</td></tr></tbody></table>Well, maybe I'm exaggerating a bit, but I have confirmed that they were watching me and I felt worse than when I had to preform in front of two hundred people. Seriously, this is this one humiliating moment of my life I wish would happen. That and this one time I was so drunk I kind of screamed to a very hot guy, I know and his friends that I also know, he's really hot. No problem there though, since he doesn't know me and was kind of hammered and probably doesn't even remember. At least I had a good music as a background. My friend got Justin Bieber's <i>If I was Your Boyfriend</i>. Not that I have anything against him, I don't even know the guy, it's just his music is so catchy. It was stuck in my head for the entire evening: <i>If I was your boyfriend I'd never let you go...</i>&nbsp;The good thing is, I did get a 10 (that's like an A+) for my ice skating knowledge. Hooray for me!!!<br />xxx<br />Lucy Jane (BTW it feels good to be back!)Lucy Janehttps://plus.google.com/118141625883343786125noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4492082610589417552.post-14660888836860182562014-02-17T13:34:00.000-08:002014-02-17T13:34:15.696-08:00A Turn To The Crazy<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>There's a lot of talk about this "new" movie called That Awkward Moment. And I know that because last week I was playing with Google Chrome settings and it offered me to set up an alert for something. The precious and really needed automatic Google suggestions (because let's face it, we're part of the lazy generation, too lazy to type our information into required fields. And why would we, when we have Google auto-fill option?) suggested I set my name as an trigger for the alert, but let's face it, except for what I write about myself, no one will use my full name. It's not like I'm the president or a hot shot movie star or an athlete. And trust me when I say it's a gift you can't hear me sing while reading this. You'd probably run screaming from the computer and never ever turn it back on (BTW, I'm exaggerating to make a point. I'm not that bad, I was in a quire for about five years. But I never really got any important solos if I even got any (obviously my memory isn't what it used to be). So instead of my name I decided to make an alert for a phrase "that awkward moment". I can't wait to see the movie (I've been busy) and it was the first thing that popped into my mind and I knew it would get quite some hits. And I was right.<br />To get you to the speed in case if you haven't heard of the movie yet, it's about three guys who plan on being single together, but end up in a relationship with what trailer shows as a potential "the one". And in this relationship they each get to that awkward moment.<br />According to the movie each relationship get to that point once, personally I have no idea, because I've never been in a relationship (more accurately I haven't been in a relationship since I was eleven, which is the same as never).<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XtOlTX8rUY0/UwJ_4Hyi0rI/AAAAAAAAAfQ/ixwr8LMGhhE/s1600/zac-efron-768.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XtOlTX8rUY0/UwJ_4Hyi0rI/AAAAAAAAAfQ/ixwr8LMGhhE/s1600/zac-efron-768.jpg" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>The alert thing works perfectly. You get an email notice every time someone writes about the required frase on the internet (or once a day/week or something like that). What meant to be an experiment to see how this alert thing works turned out to be quite amusing, but in a strange way.<br />Maybe you remember, maybe you don't but one of my celebrity crushes is Zac Efron who stars in this movie. I'm not a crazy obsessed fan or something, but I do read all kinds of gossip sites so I must confess I know (probably) more than I should about him (and other celebrities). But with this movie the interviews took turn for the strange&amp;crazy.<br />According to the internet Zac Efron doesn't have any particular turn offs when falling for the girl. But he does say he hates this movie Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. And that he wouldn't watch the movie even in exchange for 10min of the best sex ever. So ladies if you want to subtly tell Zac Efron you want to break up, just try and make him watch The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.<br />Maybe it's just me, or it's just that I'm a female, but I liked that movie. Not to mention that Blake Lively plays in it. I watched far worse movies just so I could see a hot dude that plays in it (like Magic Mike. The story isn't something I'd call good, but the fact Channing Tatum and Matt Bomer strip in it was good enough for me. Adding Alex Pettyfer to the mix was like putting a cherry on the top). And what about Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants 2? Would he watch that movie? (I just came up with another not so good movie. High School Musical. One, two and three. No questions there of why it was so popular. I mean it had hot guy, cute girl, a relate-able story and catchy songs. What more is there to a good movie?)<br />I also came across with how Zac Efron looks like when he is in a awkward situation. And yes, he's still super hot ;) The thing I'm talking about are two interviews he did together with his co-stars Michael B. Jordan and Miles Teller First was this hilarious game they played in a Cosmo interview, where they had to guess whether the word names a cocktail or a sex position. The second and even more hilarious was the interview they made with Conan this funny talk show host. I re-watch it every time I feel down and/or depressed.<br />So this is the point I'm trying to make. At one point in the past week I went from a "special" type of person to the crazy with a click of a mouse. I got obsessed with watching celebrities trying to prove they're a normal human beings, which often result in them humiliating themselves. Especially if Conan gets involved<i>.</i><br />Have fun people and be yourself (or in my case-crazy).<br />xxx<br />Lucy JaneLucy Janehttps://plus.google.com/118141625883343786125noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4492082610589417552.post-89680114175131442342014-02-16T13:26:00.001-08:002014-02-16T13:26:14.472-08:00Quote of the Week<p>And here we are again. Me telling you it's been another week. Which you probably already know, unless you're not capable of counting to seven and knowing that we have seven days in one week.<br>Anyhow, this week's quote is a bit dark, but in my defence it was Valentine's Day on Friday and I was (once again) all alone. Just kidding, I spent most of it with my friend. We had more fun than she did with her boyfriend. Once again, just kidding. But she did got a better present from me than him. There just one tini tiny thing. My present was for our Christmas tradition of buying each other stuff we don't really need, but feel like we should buy it anyway.<br>xxx<br>Lucy <font color ="#000000">Jane</font></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/--rWGQkb7FAk/UwEs1JtcYvI/AAAAAAAAAe8/GVlNccFEiTQ/s1600/IMAG0635.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img border="0" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/--rWGQkb7FAk/UwEs1JtcYvI/AAAAAAAAAe8/GVlNccFEiTQ/s640/IMAG0635.jpg"> </a> </div>Lucy Janehttps://plus.google.com/118141625883343786125noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4492082610589417552.post-77008737738621031372014-02-13T12:49:00.003-08:002014-02-13T12:49:57.498-08:00Movie of the Month: Magic Mike<div class="MsoNormal">I've gave this month's choice a lot of thought. At first I was thinking of going for the obvious choice - Valentine's Day, since this is what February is all about. I mean you spend the first fourteen days expecting/dreading the day, and the next fourteen telling everyone about how amazing/awful it was. But since I'm single and kind of not in the mood for any cheesy romance movie (that's not true, I love cheesy movies, as long as they have a happy ending) I decided to go with the less obvious choice. I proclaim this month's "Movie of the Month" to be Magic Mike!</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">I mean&nbsp; single or not single, there's not a woman in their right mind that didn't want to see this movie. And I'm not gonna play stupid and pretend it was for the exceptional story line or acting (I have no qualification in judging if someone is a good actor or not, but I've see more than enough movies to know if a movie has a weak storyline, but trust me when I say, it doesn't really matter). But I will say that 2012 was the first year in history of film, that all the man were running to the cinema to watch a movie about a teddy bear (=Ted) and all the women went to see a movie about strippers. This was a huge year for the human kind. So many things has changed!<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">As far as the story goes, this clip shows you all you need to know. And I can sum it up in one sentence: There's a bunch of real hot male strippers. And that's all it really matters.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowFullScreen='true' webkitallowfullscreen='true' mozallowfullscreen='true' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/8AnW97qET4E?feature=player_embedded' FRAMEBORDER='0' /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The movie includes some of the finest Hollywood hotties, including Channing Tatum, Matt Damon, Matthew McC</span>onaughey and Alex Pettyfer. They are all sporting some serious abs and great dancing (read: stripping) skills.</div><h4><span lang="EN-US">THE VERDICT</span></h4><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">If you're a female looking for a fun movie, Magic Mike is the one. If you're a male, looking for a movie your lady will definitely love, Magic Mike is the one. If you're a lonely soul looking for something to cheer you up on Valentine's Day, Magic Mike is the one!<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Basically, the story line might be weak, but the video below gives you all the reasons you need to decide to watch this movie.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowFullScreen='true' webkitallowfullscreen='true' mozallowfullscreen='true' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/JbIvOf0Xmzo?feature=player_embedded' FRAMEBORDER='0' /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Also Channing Tatum, the moving force behind this movie, confirmed, he's writing the script for the second part. And in the name of all red blooded females, we're thanking you, for listening to our united verdict, that this movie should last at least another hour, so.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">xxx<o:p></o:p></span></div><br /><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Lucy Jane<o:p></o:p></span></div>Lucy Janehttps://plus.google.com/118141625883343786125noreply@blogger.com0
